Britain
Babar Ahmad tied to Basayev
2004-08-10
A terrorism suspect arrested in Britain this week was in Internet contact with a U.S. Navy reservist and had detailed information about the sailor's San Diego-based battleship carrier group, including its classified travel plans and its vulnerability to attack, British and American prosecutors said Friday. Babar Ahmad, a 30-year-old college employee arrested by British authorities Thursday, was described as a cousin of suspected Al Qaeda member Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan — whose recent arrest in Pakistan triggered a spate of terrorism alerts last weekend in New York, New Jersey and Washington.

#1  One reason the retired sailor has not been charged with conspiracy is that investigators have not directly tied him to the e-mail exchanges, a senior military official said Friday on condition of anonymity.

Or maybe he was just a plant sending out "death to America" breadcrumbs to see how many rats would come up from the sewer.
